After 12 years of competitive gymnastics, a parent made the difficult decision to pull their daughter from the sport due to serious knee injuries. Initially starting gymnastics at age three, her passion grew, eventually leading to excessive training and competitions. Despite loving gymnastics, her body began to show signs of distress, leading to a doctor's recommendation to stop. The emotional struggle of this choice highlighted the conflict between a child's passion and their health. Ultimately, the decision was made out of love and concern for her future well-being.
Gymnastics, even done safely, is hard on the body, and at first, my daughter loved the challenge, friendships and hard work it brought her.
It was a difficult decision, forcing my daughter to step away from the sport she loved, but now we know it was the best thing for her.
